India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: The best Asia Cup game so far
It’s safe to say that we witnessed the most thrilling match of this year’s Asia Cup. While it may not have gone down to the wire, it kept us on the edge throughout. India’s initial performance, reaching 80/0 after 10 overs, hinted at the possibility of another big score. However, 20-year-old Dushmantha Chameera had different plans. He took the prized wickets of India’s top three batsmen – Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli, in a memorable five-wicket haul. Chathuranga de Silva’s four wickets also played a crucial role, leading to India’s dismissal at 213 runs.
In response, Jasprit Bumrah rattled Sri Lanka’s batting early on, taking two quick wickets before Mohammad Siraj joined the action. Though Sadeera Samarawickrama and Asalanka managed a partnership of 43 runs, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja’s spin partnership soon tilted the game in India’s favor. As India continued to take wickets, it seemed like another crucial victory was within their grasp. However, Dhananjaya de Silva and Chameera’s 63-run partnership provided some resistance for Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka came close, but not close enough, as Hardik, Jadeja, and Kuldeep took the final four wickets, securing India’s place in the Asia Cup final.

“We didn’t expect such a wicket, I thought it’s a wicket for batting, but we adapted well, especially Walalege, DDS, and the rest of the batters. Real character from the two proper batters, they are doing it in the nets and I know their ability. I had that option today to use him, especially against Kohli, he got Kohli’s wicket, and I knew he would take more wickets,” said the Sri Lankan captain.
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: KL Rahul speaks
KL Rahul: “It’s been amazing, we have trusted ourselves throughout. We weren’t on the field for 100 overs, but with whatever overs we were there, it tested our physicality, it’s nice to see that we came out and gave our best. We stepped up as a team, and it’s a big tick mark for us. When I contribute to the team, I’m always happy, partnerships are important when you’re batting in the middle order. I’ve been out for 4-5 months, I’ll do whatever I can, it was an important partnership with Kishan. Playing in one place continuously for three days, a little bit of spin, but we managed it well. We were 20-30 runs short, could have had some more partnerships, 230-240 could have been on the cards. When you’re behind the stumps, you get a good sense of what the batsman is trying to do, and I just sent a message, luckily it worked for Kuldeep (referring to Kuldeep’s tip before Samarawickrama got out).”
